Lauren Liebow
Literary Agent, Aevitas Creative Management
Lauren Liebow represents authors across literary and upmarket fiction as well as nonfiction. She has editorially supported award-winning authors who are New York Times bestsellers, MacDowell fellows, Fulbright Grant Awardees, and National Book Award longlisted authors, among others.
In fiction, she's looking for sweeping narratives that feature voice-driven prose and is most fascinated by genre-bending projects written with a fresh perspective. She's drawn to timeless stories that explore topics such as migration, family, socioeconomic inequality, and speculative worlds that also expose complicated truths about our own world. She's also interested in select nonfiction projects, focusing on narrative nonfiction and investigative journalism. Across all genres, she's keenly interested in books that uplift historically underrepresented voices.
Examples of books she currently represents:
I'm actively growing my list, looking for the next: God of the Woods by Liz Moore; Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar; Exhibit by RO Kwon
Lauren is looking for:
Strong voice and characters with a fresh perspective; immersive settings that feel transportive; sincerity and hope especially in literary fiction; strong female characters; stories that question societal norms and push boundaries; speculative fiction that feels timeless and timely; underrepresented voices in the literary canon
Lauren is not looking for:
Characters that are too cynical; fiction with not enough plot; stories that don't have a clear audience
